Demi-human Girls Completion Manual-Chapter 973 - 50: Margaret

At this very moment, just outside the Phoenix Station, in the direction opposite to where Fisher and Tangze Asuka landed earlier, a path had been artificially created through the dense thicket. Most Elves on the Tree Continent don’t need roads, but the Nobles and Slaves under their governance do.

Many of them were not high in Life Rank, especially Humans, relying on rather rudimentary horse-drawn carriages for walking and transporting goods.

The wheel tracks of the various countries were all different. For example, within Wutong Country, the tracks were generally about eight feet wide, quite spacious, while in the more western Tao Country, they were six feet, relatively narrower.

At this time, the quite rudimentary eight-foot-wide road was densely packed with a lot of people, divided into two groups. One group had fewer people, about ten, all wearing heavy red and black armor. Except for the leader of the Fourteenth Rank, the rest were around the Thirteenth Rank, and they were divided into two types of demi-humans.

One type had a beast-like head with a pair of short, sharp horns and a thick tuft of white hair piled on top, with numerous green scales on their face, making them look quite odd. The other type had a human-shaped upper body and a thick black snake body coiled together as the lower half, mostly female, with armor only on their upper body.

If Count Hyou were here, he would surely like these two types of demi-humans, but at the same time, the armor they wore indicated their identity was not simple.

The black and red armor was the "ceremonial armor" that only the ceremony officers within the Royal Capital were qualified to wear. They were emissaries from the Royal Capital on a mission.

Aside from these ten higher Rank Royal Capital emissaries, the rest of the mass of people huddling in the back were of very low Rank, including Humans and other demi-humans, wearing ragged and filthy linen clothes, obviously all Slaves.

"Which country are you from, Wutong Country?"

The Fourteenth Rank beast-headed emissary sat on horseback, glancing disdainfully at Hooked Kiss and Mikhail, who were surrounded in the middle of the road, his gaze mainly lingering on Hooked Kiss’s body for a moment before he satisfactorily withdrew his gaze and asked.

Hooked Kiss and Mikhail had been teleported by Helair to a spot not far from the outskirts of the Phoenix Station. They shared the same thoughts as Fisher, preparing to first reach the Phoenix Species residence before regrouping, but unexpectedly, they encountered these emissaries leading a large group of Slaves midway, forcing them to stop.

Mikhail sensed the contemptuous gaze from the other side, his right mechanical arm flashing brightly for a moment. He moved a bit closer to Hooked Kiss and asked in a low voice,

"These strange-looking ones, what kind of demi-humans are they?"

Glancing at the circle of two types of armored demi-humans in front, and then at the masses of Slaves in the back, Hooked Kiss replied in a similarly low voice,

"Qilin Species and Black Snake Species, their Ranks are quite high, they’re ceremony officers from the Royal Capital. They likely come under some decree from the Royal Capital. Those Slaves were gifted by Elven Monarchs along the way. With the current mystery surrounding the Royal Capital, I suppose they’re all hoping to get some information out of these emissaries..."

Mikhail squinted at the slender Slaves bound together by chains, then fell silent. Meanwhile, Hooked Kiss cleared his throat, stepped forward with a gentle smile, and addressed the emissary,

"Indeed so, may I ask what the emissary’s business is?"

"Currently, Your Majesty has urgently requisitioned everyone near the Mythical Level on the continent to head to the Royal Capital. Your level is suitable, and you have been requisitioned. Prepare and set off with us after packing... Is that Human beside you your Slave?"

The Qilin species took out a scroll emitting a faint golden divine light from the armor, and the surrounding space distorted slightly, revealing the unique scent of fate from the World Tree.

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed across Hooked Kiss’s face, while Mikhail’s expression turned slightly cold. As his right arm grew increasingly hotter, Hooked Kiss patted his shoulder and said to the emissary,

"Dear emissaries, this is my partner, not a Slave. My name is Hooked Kiss, I’m a doctor. I previously made a secret trip to the Royal Capital to treat Your Majesty, though I assume you wouldn’t know the details. May I know Your Majesty’s purpose for summoning us? Even if I must leave, I should first inform my wife of the details."

"We are also not aware of the details. You’ll find out once you arrive. Don’t waste time, we also need to inform the Phoenix Clan Chief to accompany us. Lord Wu and Lord Tong have said their Clan Chief is just a step away from the Mythical Rank."

The Qilin species shook his head upon hearing this, and Hooked Kiss carefully observed his expression. Confirming that he wasn’t lying, Hooked Kiss’s gentle smile deepened a little.

It was the Black Snake species female beside them who looked at Hooked Kiss’s warm and jade-like handsome face, licking her lips. Her slender and forked snake tongue flicked in and out as she spoke in a seductive and alluring voice,

"Oh, you’re a doctor, huh? Never mind your wife, come back with us. Wildflowers smell better than home ones, don’t they? We have many sick sisters in the Royal Capital, they could all use your treatment... Oh, I forgot to ask, do you know acupuncture?"

"I’m already married, miss, please don’t joke like this." Sensing the almost tangible gaze, Hooked Kiss quickly straightened his face, seriously emphasizing as if something dire would happen if he didn’t speak up.
